How can we be truly free, when nearly every second child in our nation is a victim of malnutrition. Come, join us and declare "Malnutrition, Quit India".

The purpose of this video is to encourage the community to come together to take a pledge to fight malnutrition.

It is intended for the community at large.

The Story:

During the struggle for freedom and the era of Independence in India, many movements were taking place. The father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, led many silent marches and one of them being "British, Quit India". The year was 1942, the beginning of the Quit India Movement, and every one was hyped up with patriotic spirit.

The "Quit India Movement" showed us the path to freedom. And shortly after that we were free and the nation was independent.

But, are we truly free today?

How can we be, when nearly every second child in our nation is a victim of malnutrition. Do you realize the seriousness of this sad fact? It means that in the coming generation on whom the future of the country depends, will be reduced to half of its strength. And the dreams we have for our children will remain unfulfilled.

This too is oppression. But, this time the enemy is one who cannot be seen easily. We'll have to wage war again. Drive the enemy out again, so that our nation's future, our children's future, can become strong. Come, join us and declare "Malnutrition, Quit India".

Malnutrition is lack of right nutrition. A child is specially most prone to the dangers of malnutrition from the time of its conception till two years of its age which is very important period for the overall growth. Today, nearly every second child in India is a victim of malnutrition. It means they are physically and mentally weak due to which they are targets to many ailments, deformities, disabilities and allergies affecting normal growth mentally and physically. So we should jointly wage a war against malnutrition.
